SONG: 1 by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD

First Line: MY LOVE SHALL BE A CLOUD, TO FLOAT
Last Line: FROM ONE SWEET FLOWER.
Subject(s): LOVE - NATURE OF;
MY love shall be a cloud, to float
Across the purple deeps of night,
To bear you in a pearly boat,
With sails of light.

My love shall be a little breeze
That passes through the tallest fir,
To blow you o'er the leafy seas,
Like gossamer.

My love shall be a petal small
That trembles from a jasmine bower,
To bring a perfume in its fall,
From one sweet flower.
